Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. Finishing my BSN and will graduate in May 2005.

I'm originally from CA and I believe that hourly pay and I also believe that the standard of living is commensurately high. It's all relative. If one chooses to live in SF, be prepared for sticker shock of your life, but on the positive side, SF is a fun place to be!

I'm guessing that would be at Cooper University Hospital. The area is kinda dangerous and I think one can never be paid enough to work in an area where crime rate is super high.

$23.50 / hr in Phoenix, AZ but night shift diff is $5.72. Not bad for a GN starting salary

Michelle G., your comment about being smarter than BSNs because you passed NCLEX with 2 years of education is silly at best! If you think hard enough about the curriculum structure differences between the two, you would not have said that comment (even in parenthesis)! This kind of comment is reflective of the 2-year education you have.

Because BSNs seem outnumbered in this forum by ADNs and this ADN vs. BSN battle is never going to die, why don't we leave the ADNs alone to do what they do best: technical nursing and let's start a BSN vs. MSN instead? Or, even more exciting, an MSN vs PhD battle. This would be hilarious at best! Because there is no professional unity among supposedly 'RN Professionals' anyway as evidenced by the way people here post their comments, let's continue to cry foul and be *****es to one another. It's a shame we call ourselves professionals when we don't just simply put the educational differences behind us and just try to get along? Shame, shame, shame.
